Thermal chromatography of Green River oil shale. I. Bitumen and kerogen

Journal Article · · Energy Sources; (United States)
Thermograms and chromatograms obtained by thermal chromatography of Green River oil shale indicate that bitumen can be separated efficiently from oil shale by controlled thermal heating. The chromatogram of thermally separated bitumen is identical to that of the solvent-extracted bitumen. Chromatograms of kerogen concentrate support the hypothesis that kerogen structure is a complex matrix made of multiple components.
